Two -vm flags on my Eclipse [message #267226]

When I try to run Eclipse for Developers (3.3.2) on Windows XP and I
specify the virtual machine in the .ini file like this:

-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256M
-Xms40m
-Xmx512m -vmargs
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.5
-vm C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_14\jre\bin\client\jvm.dll

However, when I run Eclipse I am finding that another "-vm" flag is being
set elsewhere. If I go to Help->About->Configuration Details, I can see

-vm C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_14\jre\bin\client\jvm.dll
-vm
C:/j2sdk1.4.2_16/bin\..\jre\bin\client\jvm.dll

Where is this 1.4.2 flag likely to be set ? I've looked in the Windows
shortcut (it's not there) and my JAVA_HOME is set to the 1.5 JDK, so I
don't think that's responsible.

Any help gratefully received.

Matt

Matt,
put -vm argument before -vmargs.
Arguments after -vmargs are not processed by Eclipse, but sent directly
to JVM, so your -vm parameter may have been ignored.

There are several problems with this eclipse.ini content. Read this wiki
page (http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse.ini) carefullly and you should be
able to correct it. If not, post again with your revised contents.

Hope this helps,
Eric
